Jonn Graham Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 We have been waiting for someone to produce a swim jig head mold that will allow us to make 3/16 and 1/8 oz swim jigs with the ability to add a weedguard. Well, the day has come. Do-It molds released a new mold a few months ago, and now we got it. It is a real beauty. The mold features cavities to pour a 3/16 oz. and 1/8 oz. head. In addition, we can now add a weedguard. If you remember in the past our 3/16 and 1/8 oz jigs were called Scout Jrs and the head was in the shape of a minnow's head and came without weedguards. Also, this new mold has recessed eye sockets. This means the new head allows us to use stick-on holographic eyes, which fit neatly in the recessed eye socket. This new mold really makes our jigs look even classier. Here is a picture of a 3/16 oz jig. Check out the head and eyes: This new mold also will produce our 1/4 oz models that are so popular. If you want 3/8 or 1/2 oz models, we will still provide them using the old mold and they will come with weedguards as well. Since the old Scout Jrs will no longer be produced, I am "blowing them out". I probably have around a dozen or two that are already tied and ready to go. I made them with some very interesting color patterns. If you are interested, PM me. They are mostly 1/8 and 1/4. Clearance price of $2 apiece with a minimum order of six.

seanf Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hey Jonn, does the new jig have a tied skirt or a rubber band collar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonn Graham Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 No rubber skirt holder here! The new jigs are tied with old fashioned, rock solid thread...........just like the older models. Dana: Give me a call and we can talk jigs.

Dan Draz Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Geez Dana.... broke by June? You're doing well if you make it that long! I just ordered three dozen from Jonn and a boatload of tails from Big Hammer. I'll be broke by next week at this rate! Perhaps we should all just have our paychecks electronically deposited into Jonn's account!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimU Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Perhaps we should all just have our paychecks electronically deposited into Jonn's account!! I'll second that as I am waiting for a dozen and half that he shipped today! It would also be much faster than mailing the check to Far Far Away, Illinois.

Mike G Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 This is a trip. In one forum Mike Cliffford is covering "anti-lead" legislation aimed specifically at lead jigs and weights. In another one Jon Graham is rolling out his new swim jig models which are probably made of lead. I guess we have freedom of speech at work. Jon, may your new jigs swim long and prosper. Mike, I agree that our DNR, which is already overextended, has many more important issues to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
